Cabbie from NY

This is just about the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I was a cabbie in NY for 15 years and we didn't pick up blacks because of fear of being robbed or stabbed. What is the fear in transporting a bottle or two?

The cabbies should be more concerned with earning a living and being good citizens. This issue makes the lives of other good citizens inconvenienced
